"All for the Best" from "Godspell"
"One Brick at a Time" from "Barnum"
"Sing for Your Supper" from "Boys from Syracuse" uses a lot of jazz-riffs interacting
with the primary melodic line (original vocal score)
"Be Back Soon" and the film version's final verse of "Oom-Pah-Pah" from "Oliver!"
in "I Believe in You" from "How to Succeed..." there is a long section where the shaving
white-collars sing contrapuntally to Finch on the primary theme.
"Do-Re-Mi" in "Sound of Mucous" has a section of it.

Fugue for the Tinhorns from Guys and Dolls is jsut amazing if done correctly.
Rock Island from Music Man
Does Down Once More from POTO count?

Near end of"Solidarity" in Billy Elliot...best musical part by far in the production.
